Fully baked warehousing and distribution hub on offer

Changing its name from Bak Storage to Bak Logistics in November 2009 was more than a marketing exercise – it reflects the range of services and facilities offered in Zimbabwe by the company, says Moses Kachunda, general manager operations and marketing. “We have one of the largest warehouses in southern Africa, with over 72 000m² under roof, a container depot, bonded warehouse, and provide customs clearing services,” says Kachunda. Bak’s 6 000 TEU container depot is a fully operational dry port, with four gantries capable of stacking fully loaded containers up to four high. A wholly owned subsidiary of the Tobacco Sales Limited (TSL) group, Bak has branches and warehouses in Harare, Bulawayo, Masvingo, Mutare, and Gweru in addition to its giant three Harare complexes. “We provide a transit hub for Zambia, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Malawi,” says Kachunda. The Harare complex has bonded and transit warehousing facilities, and handles both road and rail freight.
